Notes for William Herbert Earl of Pembroke
Adrian Channing has pointed out, soc.gen.med on 24th Feb 2002, the very interesting entry in CP VI, 442, note (a) which says that Wm. H. is said to have had a brother Sir George Herbert who was thus his heir male and should have been the 3rd earl. Curiously CP, VI, p. 654, says that when he, Wm., died as earl of Huntingdon, "his earldom became extinct or possibly dormant".
